only 3 titles up for grabs Yesterday in the first day of the pool swimming competitions

 

 Vivien Jackl easily won the women's 400m IM, meanwhile  won both men and women's 4*100m Free Relays (the men dominating, thanks also to the presence of the next Olympian Carlos D'Ambrosio; the women just edging out by 1/100 of a second the French girls)

 

next Olympian D'Ambrosio and Alessandro Ragaini, instead, just gave up on the individual gold & silver over the individual 200m Free, Ragaini by not even bothering to show up in the qualifiers, D'Ambrosio swimming a shameful 1.50.x, which made him only the 3rd Italian and leaving him out of the semis 

 

p.s. someone sooner or later would explain to me why those 2 guys are swimming at the junior Europeans right now, less than a month before the Olympics?

15 yo  Ntoumas is also swimming here right before the Olympics, though in his case the expectations for him to do well in Paris are very low, he is only going to be in a relay.

day #2 in the pool

 

 stay on top of the medal table with 2 more gold medals (Sara Curtis in the women's 50m backstroke and the mixed 4*100m free relay) and going up to 4 titles, but  are just behind with their 3 gold medals won Today (Trepocka, men's 200m free; Kauspedas, men's 50m backstroke; Plytynskaite, women's 50m breststroke)

 

 increase their tally to 2 gold medals thanks to Minna Abraham (women's 200m free), meanwhile  (Mihalache, men's 200m fly),  (Blocksidge, women's 1500m free) and  (Allahverdi, men's 50m breaststroke) just won their 1st gold of the championship

day #3

 

 still on top of the medal table, thanks to the 5th gold medal of the championship (Sara Curtis, women's 50m freestyle)

 

the other 4 titles of the day went to  (R.A. Badea, men's 200m IM),  (M. Damborg, women's 100m fly),  (women's 4*200m freestyle relay) and, above all, to  K. Tuncelli, who won the men's 1500m freestyle with the new Junior World Record* in 14.41.89, which most likely is going to be the performance of the championships (surely it is so far)

 

*yes, we all know that some amazing clockings of a few years ago aren't recorded in the junior list (which is quite recent), but still

Amazing swim but I can't help but think he should be saving it for Paris.

Super happy for Tajus Juška,kept breaking his Lithuanian under 17 record,through all  the 50 meter freestyle swims.improves from 22.86 in febuary to 22.34 here to win bronze,and almost get silver,and this is after catching pneumonia not too long ago.

Well, five medals for Lithuania already

 

Difficult to believe that we can top this, but Plytnykaitė, Kaušpėdas, Juška will still be available to start next year too and might even come back stronger.

 

There are still good chances for more medals in 100m Free for Trepočka and Juška, 100m Breaststroke for Plytnykaitė and 100m Backstoke for Kaušpedas.

 

I'd even add the men's 4x100m medley as a decent shot if Trepočka, Juška and Kaušpėdas were swimming in it, but the coaches might save them for their individual finals on the last day.
